BMW bets on iNext in sales race with Mercedes

For now, this auto is called iNext Vision and builds on the legacy of the Next 100 concept shown for the first time two years ago.

A new electric vehicle is under work by BMW and they have given us its first glimpse.

Revealing the teaser image at Thursday's annual general meeting of shareholders, management board chairman Harald Kruger said the iNext had already been greenlighted for production at BMW's Dingolfing plant alongside the i4, starting in 2021, and would be the company's new technology flagship, "incorporating all major strategic areas of innovation in a road-ready vehicle". We can expect the final design to be similar in size and shape to an X5, in other words a mid-size SUV.

Krüger said: "The iNext project is our building kit for the future". That means an electric vehicle with a high degree of autonomy.

Books were the ISCE all-India topper's Bible. "I love history and want to later specialise in it, and so I chose the stream". Maithili Vartak, also from The Bishop's School, Camp, scored 97.75 per cent, while Mohit Mukherjee scored 96.25 per cent.

Through April, BMW's global brand sales grew 2.5 per cent, while Mercedes' registrations surged 13 per cent. That iNext too, will sit on a modular platform - BMW even says "if that sounds a bit like Lego, that's roughly the idea". The highlight was a gesture control system called AirTouch that enables control of entertainment, navigation and communication functions using purely hand gestures. Not much could be made out of it, but it does give us an idea about it. The model is dubbed as BMW iNEXT and is expected to enter into production by the year 2021. The first of these will be an electric Mini Hardtop due in 2019.
